Application for Canadian Immigration Temporarily suspended for year 2012

I AM Canadian. I don't blame the government for doing this. I'm sorry, but I'm going to be brutally honest with my feelings about immigration to Canada. Yesterday, 1500 immigrants received their status in Canada. Skilled or not, this is too high of a number. Canada already has a large population of skilled workers, who were born and raised here, yet can't get employment because the immigrants are taking the jobs instead. I have noticed over the years that there are more and more non Canadians in the workforce, through every single trade. And that's because of poor control by the government on immigration policies. You see, the government doesn't have an official limit as to how many people can immigrate to Canada, and this is the problem. Our cities are already overpopulated as it is, there are low income people on waiting lists for housing, while immigrants come in and take the housing that was meant for the low income people, ones who can't get jobs because the immigrants are taking them away. Do you see my point? You don't see many Canadians immigrating to countries where most people are coming from, because there's nothing there for them, and there's clearly nothing there for the people who are leaving. Our taxes are constantly on the rise, and that's because we have to cover the cost of immigration, health care of new immigrants, housing for them, and temporary income through welfare until they get work. If I were the Prime Minister of Canada, I would cut down on immigration by at least 80%, at least for another 20-40 years. Let the population growth die down and get to a more manageable level before letting new immigrants into the country. The United States has the same problem, but there's a larger land mass, so this isn't as much of an issue as it is in Canada.
